Judy: Donna, your upcoming workshop is called Why Am I Here? That's a question most of us have asked at some point. What does that question mean to you?

Donna:

I think it's one of the most natural questions we can ask.

At some point, most people look around at their life and wonder, "Is there more to this?" Maybe it's after a major loss, a health challenge, a career change, the kids leaving home, or simply a quiet feeling that something inside is shifting.

When I ask, "Why am I here?" I'm not talking only about a job or a role. I'm talking about something deeper. Why did my soul choose this lifetime? What am I here to learn? What am I here to experience? How am I meant to grow?

I don't believe we're here to simply get through life. I believe we're here to become more of who we truly are.

Judy: That's a much bigger question than finding a career or a purpose.

Donna:

It is.

Many of us were taught to focus on what we're supposed to do. But I think the Soul Journey invites us to ask who we're becoming.

When people look back on their lives, they often realize that some of their greatest growth came from experiences they never would have chosen. The challenges, the disappointments, the unexpected turns in the road—they all shaped them in important ways.

Sometimes the very thing we thought was holding us back was actually helping us become who we were meant to be.

Judy: Why do you think so many people struggle with this question?

Donna:

Because we're often looking for one big answer.

We think there should be a single purpose, a single path, or a moment when everything suddenly makes sense.

But what if purpose unfolds in seasons?

What if some chapters of life are about learning, while others are about healing, creating, serving, leading, or simply being present?

I think people put a lot of pressure on themselves to figure everything out. The truth is, the Soul Journey is not a race. It's an unfolding.

Judy: What will people explore during this workshop?

Donna:

We'll spend time reflecting on some beautiful questions.

Why am I drawn to certain experiences?

What lessons have shaped my life?

Are there patterns that keep showing up for me?

What gifts do I naturally bring into the world?

What might my soul be asking me to pay attention to right now?

Most importantly, we'll explore how all of those pieces fit together.

This isn't a workshop where I hand people answers. It's a space where they can begin discovering their own.

Judy: What do you hope people walk away with?

Donna:

I hope they leave with a little more understanding of themselves and a little more compassion for their journey.

So many people carry around the belief that they've made mistakes, taken wrong turns, or somehow fallen behind.

I don't see it that way.

I believe every experience has brought us to where we are today. Even the difficult chapters have value. Even the detours have wisdom.

My hope is that people leave seeing their lives through a different lens—not as a collection of random events, but as a journey that has meaning.

Judy: If someone is reading this and wondering if the workshop is for them, what would you say?

Donna:

If you've ever found yourself lying awake at night wondering:

"There has to be more than this."

"Why did that happen to me?"

"What am I meant to do next?"

"Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?"

"What's the deeper meaning behind all of this?"

Then you're probably already asking the questions we'll explore together.

You don't need to have a spiritual background. You don't need to have all the answers.

You just need to be willing to be curious.

Sometimes the simple act of asking, "Why am I here?" opens a door that has been waiting for us all along.
